The browsingTopics property of the HTMLIFrameElement interface is a boolean specifying that the selected topics for the current user should be sent with the request for the associated <iframe>'s source in a Sec-Browsing-Topics header. This reflects the browsingtopics HTML attribute.

console.log(iframeElem.browsingTopics); // will return true in supporting browsers
